This is an issue though isn’t it? copying a file over to a child theme is an excepted practise with WP and how one legitimately extends themes. If we are to run scared of doing this because the core bp-default files may be upgraded/changed then it suggests that one cannot really extend or create themes safely, short of having to copy over new files and adding all your customisations to it again.

I’m wondering whether I can safely set about creating a full blown theme, in as much as I’m not sure at this stage how dependent BP is on it’s default theme files.

(Sorry bit of a thread hijack.)
